Default Can I see what the AI is up to?

I know it would be cheating but I am just dying to know what the AI of one of my opponent races is up to. I mean, the computer is moving fleets of 10-15 ships through my space while I struggle to support my 10 ships total within the empire. Where is it getting all the resources to build and maintain such force? Is it cheating?

Depends on the MOD: un-modded I would say that the AI expanded like crazy and got some good resource worlds. Did you give the AI bonus(s)?

to see what AI is up to: click on the menu for save/exit; click on the "players" tab; click on the AI you want to see then click end turn...

You can change an empire to be under human control by going in the Game Menu window (f2), and then Players.

Thanks for the information. For what it is worth, it is TDM mod. And I just had my head handed to me at turn 117. Do I stink or what!?

Not at all. It is possible to get into a no-win position against modded AIs with bonuses if you are unlucky with galaxy setup.

Thanks for the confidence I suspect though that with this being my third game it is simply a case of stinking.

Would starting with no warp points, or not all connected warp points be a good thing?
